I've no idea who this band is.

Does anyone know?

A killer in spy movies, like some variety of poison... or a bomb variety, car bomb, time bomb.

Perhaps a "laser" smiley

Cianide, The Dying Truth. I must have glanced at that image at Dabbi's sometime, since that band doesn't ring any bells with me.

And if the above linked review is to be trusted I didn't miss anythingsmiley

Man, this album is so hard to judge! Just kidding, this was one of the most uninteresting death-metal bands I have ever heard! I will be totally honest with you, there was nothing that I can call enjoying in this album. The whole album was just as interesting as watching a stone trying to beat the c**p out of a shovel.


New question coming up in a bit...

Death Metal is very difficult to judge, if you know what i mean. smiley Cianide is one of the few Death Metal bands that i have ever liked, though not all of their albums. But i guess that everyone has different taste in music.

The MS Berge Stahl is the largest bulk carrier ship in the world, and has a capacity of 364,767 metric tons of deadweight (DWT), is 343 m long, has a beam, or width, of 65 m, and a draft, or depth in the water, of 23 m.

The engine is 9 m high, drives a single 9 m screw, and puts out 27,610 horsepower (20.59 MW), has a top speed of 13.5 knots, and has a 9 m high rudder.

Because of her massive size, the Berge Stahl can only tie up, fully loaded, at two ports in the world, hauling ore from the Terminal Marí­timo de Ponta da Madeira in Brazil to the Europoort near Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Even at these ports, passage must be timed to coincide with high tides to prevent the ship running aground. The Berge Stahl makes this trip about ten times each year, or a round-trip about every five weeks.

The smaller airplane looks very much like 'Discovery' the spaceshuttle.
Discovery (also known as Orbiter Vehicle Designation, OV-103) had it's maiden voyage 30th August in 1984, being only the 12th laucnh from Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle has flown 34 flights, spent 297 days in space, completed 3,808 orbits, and flown almost 160.000.000 km in total.

The big plane could have been the modified 747 Boeing Shuttle Carrier. If it was NASA is using two identical 747-100SR (Short Range). It impossible to tell these apart.


EDIT:
After such work, and wrong as well, I didn't want to delete it smiley

HERE ARE THE CORRECT ANSWERS:

The Transport plane is the Antonov AN-225 (UR-82060 is the only one currently in service), the world's largest airplane, with a carrying capacity of up to 250 tonnes and an inner hull of 70m length. AN-225 has a maximum take-off weight of 600 tons and can take-off on a 3.500 metre long airstrip.

The space shuttle on top of the AN-225 is the ukrainian (soviet?) Buran space shuttle. It managed only one flight in 1988, and the space programme was cancelled in 1993, shortly before it's second scheduled flight. It was critically damaged by a hangar collapse in 2002, killing 8 people due to poor maintanance. 'Buran' means 'Snowstorm' in russian.
Buran has a weight capacity of 30 tons, compared to Discovery with a capacity of 22.5 tons.

You nearly had me in the trick, but then the Antonov had 6 engines.

Next question:

Who is the guy on the bill and what country is the bill from ?

ps. I'm not sure ifit's my settings, but my text in the attachment is almost grayed out, I was fighting some problems here, because I thought it wouldn't upload smiley

The guy is Nikola Tesla, who was ethnically a Serb.

Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007), under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reily. Jordan's works will be the subject of JordanCon, a three day genre convention scheduled for April 2009, in Atlanta, Georgia.
